Investment objective & strategy
As of May 5, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The Segall Bryant & Hamill Municipal Opportunities Fund (the Fund) seeks income exempt from Federal income taxes.
Strategy. ? The Fund focuses primarily on investment-grade quality municipal bonds that are rated in one of the four highest investment-grade categories at the time of purchase by one or more nationally recognized rating agencies such as Moodys or Standard & Poors (Rating Agencies). ? Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least eighty percent (80%) of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds. The portfolio management team understands municipal bonds to include debt obligations issued by or on behalf of a governmental entity or other qualifying issuer. Issuers may be states, territories, and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities. ? … ?

The portfolio management team understands municipal bonds to include debt obligations issued by or on behalf of a governmental entity or other qualifying issuer. Issuers may be states, territories, and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities. ? The Fund expects to maintain a dollar-weighted average duration of four to seven years and a dollar-weighted average effective maturity of five to 12 years, under normal circumstances. ? The Fund may invest up to thirty percent (30%) of its total assets at the time of purchase in municipal bonds rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as junk bonds). ? The Fund may invest in unrated bonds. The portfolio management team determines the comparable quality of such instruments to determine if they meet the Funds rating requirements. ? The team researches the financial condition of various counties, public projects, school districts and taxing authorities to seek to fully understand the issuers ability to generate revenues or levy taxes in order to meet its obligations. ? If the team identifies what it believes are relative valuation opportunities, the Fund may invest up to twenty percent (20%) of its total net assets at time of purchase in taxable bonds including, but not limited to, corporate bonds, taxable municipal bonds, government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and zero coupon bonds. The Fund may invest up to half of this allocation in taxable junk bonds. ? The Fund may, from time to time, invest up to ten percent (10%) of its total net assets at time of purchase in other investment companies and vehicles, including but not limited to, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and closed-end funds. ? SBH also utilizes an integrated approach to a companys environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) practices within its investment process alongside other non-ESG factors. SBH believes ESG factors may be important drivers of value in conjunction with the underlying strength and potential of an issuer, however its consideration of these factors would not necessarily result in an issuer being included or excluded from the evaluation process but rather would contribute to the overall evaluation of that issuer. ? Securities may be sold when conditions have changed and the securitys prospects are no longer attractive, the security has achieved the teams valuation target, or better relative investment opportunities have been identified. However, an important consideration in all sell decisions is whether the sale would generate a possible realized capital gain.
